Do you think young people today value thier education as much as Sara Smolinsky does? Why or why not?

The value of education is much appreciated by Sara Smolinsky. I feel that a generalization about american children cannot be accurately made, for it depends on the child if he or she values their education.  Education in America is a law, resulting in resent to school. Back in Sara's time, it was an option and privilege, mostly for boys. Children and teenagers constantly complain about the amount of work, times for school, and other things related to their mandatory education. Sara realizes that her family doesn't think girls should be educated, which only adds another level to her dedication in schooling. I do think, however, that a small number of students value their education to a certain extent. Legally, you are allowed to drop out of school at the age of 16. Look at the the amount of teens who actually do drop out versus the amount of teens that enroll in higher studies, such as college. They know without education that their careers may not be possible. In the moment, people Sara's age may not value their education, but are extremely appreciative of it at an older age.
